Land of the Blindfolded, Vol. 1 by Sakura Tsukuba

3.0

This one volume could've seriously been a whole 50 for some other authors. We already have a confession, as well as them starting to go steady. I get that this whole manga used to be a one-shot but I can't help but think that the main characters, Outsuka Kanade and Naitou Arou, had a total almost love-at-first-sight kinda thing. Kanade is actually super dense so I thought it would at least take awhile. Yet Arou goes right in and confesses so... Not to mention after all that happens the author suddenly introduces another guy. Hmmmm I wonder who she'll end up with? *sarcasm intended* I love, love triangles, but only the ones that ACTUALLY make me think both guys would work out. It's pretty obvious who Kanade is gonna choose so there really is not that much interest in the whole love triangle department. Nonetheless, interesting concept. A whole world where some people can 'see' and others are in the sense blind. Kanade is one of those I WANT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE type of good girls that make the two other guys feel protective of her. I must say this got a bit emotional for me near the grandpa scene, but I don't know if that's actually in vol 1. (I'm on chapter 11 you see) Anyways, this was kinda a let down in my expectations, but hey, there's so much more manga out there for me to explore and binge.
